After being charged with a crime, accused parties have the ability to decide how they would like to handle their court proceedings. Some parties may wish to enter a guilty plea to stipulated charges if a situation arises in which they may be able to receive a lesser sentence for that plea. On the other hand, some individuals may prefer preparing and presenting a defense in order to maintain their innocence against domestic violence or other charges.
